“Mughal architecture
at its best.”
There can be no doubt in any one’s mind after seeing Taj
Mahal at Agra, that it is the most beautiful building ever constructed. This is
architecture at its absolute best. The calligraphy, carvings and designs are
exquisite.
We were lucky to have azure sky with almost no cloud and no haze at all. The place does tend to be quite crowded, but take your time to soak in the beauty of the place.

“breath taking
& Magnificent building ”
I didn’t expect the Taj Mahal to be a highlight of a
recent trip to India, it was. It is well worth seeing. I didn’t enjoy the
"tour" inside; it was far more beautiful to walk around the outside
and simple look at this magnificent building.
“Awesome - “What can I say?”
Taj Mahal is definitely deserving to be called a 'wonder'.
It’s a Worth place to visit. After
seeing pictures of this monument for my whole life, I was still unprepared to
experience it's beauty first-hand. Yes, there were a lot of people there, but
the building and outbuildings are stunning.
When you visit Taj Mahal, it is not same what you see in
the photos or videos. It is a once in a life time experience which you surely
would like to experience again. No camera can capture the real beauty of Taj
Mahal neither can words describe the feeling what you will have when it is in
front of your eyes.
I paid 750Rps to visit this wonder of the world and it is
worth it. So breathtaking to admire its beauty and its surroundings. I had a
sunset view. What a view, what an experience, takes your breath away.
The history surrounding it, is so sad but beautiful So peaceful, well kept, easy to get around
Not to be missed if you see nothing else you need to see this.
Taj Mahal is definitely worth seeing once. I don't believe it could be duplicated today. It is truly an architectural marvel and will not disappoint. The line to enter can look long, but they are quite efficient at moving it along.

Tip 01: If a
helpful gentleman offers to show you "best" spot for a photo, he is
not just being friendly and helpful! He is expecting a tip. So, if this makes
you uncomfortable, politely decline the offer.
Tip 02: Good
quality camera is a must
Tip 03: Go
early if possible to avoid the hot part of the day, and of course don't forget
it will be closed on Fridays.
Tip 04: After
the tour is over, the guide will pressure you to go to the tourist type of
souvenir shop that he benefits from. Maybe you want to do some shopping, but if
you don't - you will have to be very firm.
